Simple Review 3.0.1 has a new feature for category templates which allows you to use placeholders when creating your review listing template. This change will allow you to easily add custom fields to your review listing without having to resort to using PHP. You can ignore this guide if you are using an unmodified category template that comes with Simple Review e.g. default or dark. If you have created your own template or modified the existing category review listing template (template.reviewlisting.html.php) the below will show you the difference and what to change.

Old templates important folders/files:/www/components/com_simple_review/views/MODULE_NAME/tmpl/TEMPLATE_NAME.php
/www/components/com_simple_review/views/MODULE_NAME/tmpl/TEMPLATE_NAME/
/www/components/com_simple_review/views/MODULE_NAME/tmpl/TEMPLATE_NAME/Template.css

As an example we will convert our old review template into the new template format.
We will base our new template on the default one.
Steps:

Create a new folder:www/components/com_simple_review/templates/example/

From the default templatewww/components/com_simple_review/templates/default/
copy the following into www/components/com_simple_review/templates/example/:

index.html

css

images

js

review

You should now have the following:www/components/com_simple_review/templates/example/index.html
www/components/com_simple_review/templates/example/css/
www/components/com_simple_review/templates/example/images/
www/components/com_simple_review/templates/example/js/
www/components/com_simple_review/templates/example/review/

Open your old template file/www/components/com_simple_review/views/review/tmpl/TEMPLATE_NAME.php

Copy everything inbetween <!–– START EDITING––> and <!–– STOP EDITING––> and
paste it into your new template (replace the deleted text in template.html.php).

You can optionally update your old Simple Review tags with the new Place Holders.
You can see a list of the new place holders on your place holder admin page:http://YOUR_SITE.COM/administrator/index2.php?option=com_simple_review&task=list&module=PlaceHolder_Module

If you want to convert other templates such as a category template then create a new folder:www/components/com_simple_review/templates/example/category/
Then repeat steps 3 to 6. Note some templates such as category have had JavaScript or structural changes to fix bugs or add features, so apply step 3 carefully and only if needed.
